Hi,

I own a C70 2002 convertible. This morning my garage door started closing as I was backing out the car, and bent the antenna.

I called the dealership and they say that when the mast bends, they need to replace the whole assemply, including the motor, and it comes to almost $400!!

However, I did a quick eBay search and found that there's a company (Antenna Masts R US) who sellsreplacement masts for $21, with instructions for how toinstall it. Here's the link on eBay:

So... is the dealership not telling the truth?? Has anyone had any experience replacing the antenna mast for a C70?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

 

IDP may be more reliable....found this mast a while back:

good luck

 

I bought and installed the Antenna Masts R US one without any problems. Their shipping was very good.

 

your first mistake was calling the dealer... $200 for the antenna and $200 for labour...
I also used Antenna Masts R US a few years ago and was happy with them. Its relly east to replace it. To extend motor and mast life make sure you grease the antenna with some sort of lube once in a while.
